PS4 survival horror Outlast coming free to PlayStation Plus

PlayStation Plus subscribers will be able to nab PS4 survival horror Outlast for free in February.

Boo.

Outlast developer Red Barrels made the announcement last night via the game's official Facebook page.

The current PlayStation Plus content includes DmC Devil May Cry and Borderlands 2 for PlayStation 3, Soul Sacrifice and BlazBlue Continuum Shift Extend for PlayStation Vita and acclaimed wilderness survival title Don't Starve for PS4. Not bad.

Eurogamer reviewed Outlast when it launched on PC last autumn and found it a little rough round the edges but still well worth exploring.

"There's little chance to branch off the main path and explore - but that's for the best," Rich McCormick wrote. "Stop and peer too long into Outlast's gloom and you'll see the zips on the monster costumes. Take it at at speed and you'll find a haunted house worth visiting."
